Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 1000 mg Aspirin (the study medication) by comparing it to placebo (the control group without active substance) or 400 mg Ibuprofen (the control group with an active substance) in treating the symptoms of back pain. The study is designed to develop a treatment method against back pain which will have more advantages for patients than the methods that are currently available.
